The way they deal with criminals
in Mexico. is little novel, to say
the least of 1t. Last week the cars,
on the national railroad ran over and
killed native. The friends of the
dead man retaliated by placing a
large stone on the track in a curve,
which was struck by the engine of
passenger train, and resulted in
killing the fireman. The authorities
at Patzcoaro sent squad Of gende-
arms in pursuit of the offenders,
with instructions to bring in every
person connected with the affair.
Thirty-three arrests were made, and
an investigation resulted in the Sc
lection of three victims and sentence
was immediately passed. Shortly
after sunrise the next morning the
three men were marched to the scene
of the disaster, and placed before an
adobe wall, and file of soldiers at
ten PAGES distance fred a volley at
them. The men fell at the first fire,
and sergeant stepped forward to
the bodies, put revolver close to
each head, and blew out their brains.

The well known theatre, Opera
Comique, at Paris France, was er-
tirely destroyed by fire, on Wednes-
day evening of last week. The fire
broke out during performance.
The theatre was crowded, and at the
first alarm rush was made for the
exits. The fire spread with great
rapidity and many persons sprang
from the windows to the ground to
avoid being caught by the flames,
only to meet death by contact with
the pavement. Fourteen of the per-
sons who threw themselves from the
windows were instantly killed and
forty-three were picked up more or
less injured, some of them fatally
and many seriously.

RIDING TURTLE-BACK.

Our little friends who live at the
North, and especially those who live at a
distance from lakes or rivers, have little
notion of the big turtles that lazily swim
about in the warmer waters of the South.
Here is what little girl, who lives at a
lighthouse station on the coast of Caro-.
lima, knows about them.
"There are many species of turtles, the
1oggerhead,' which is the largest; the
green turtle, which is good to eat; and
the swapping turtle, which has strong
jaws for it's defence. Turtles feed ON
crabs, fishes, and other small sea-animals.
AT night, when the tide is high, the tur-
tie comes up on the shore, and digging a
nest from one to two feet deep, lays from
one hundred to two hundred eggs. With
its hind feet it carefully covers the nest
with sand and grass; and when this is
done, it rises on it's hind feet, called 'rud-
ders,' and pats the sand down with its
heavy body, so as to make it firm. Per-
sons often go out to look for turtles
eggs. They look first for the crawl or
track Of the turtle, which is about yard
wide, and, when they find it, they follow it
along until they come to the dug-up place
where the nest is. They then thrust a
sharp stick all around the place to find
the eggs. The eggs of the turtle are
round and covered with a skin, instead
of brittle shell. The skin is SO tough
that children down here sometimes play
ball with the eggs, as they can be dropped,
and even bounced without breaking.
The white of the egg never hardens
when cooked, but still some persons are
very fond of them. They are used for
making cake and omelettes.
"When a turtle has laid its eggs, and
is returning to the sea, people sometimes
turn it over on its back, for, when in that
position, it cannot get away; but often, if

toned many other names, all familiar tc
those about her, and her voice, though SC
weak, thrilled her listeners with its glad
ness. Presently she asked:
"Who is that woman with the flowing
hair, and whose baby is that in her armsi
She looks like Alice,"-her daughter-in.
law, who stood near. Alice thought with
joyful thrill, of the beloved sister and
baby who had been suddenly taken from
the world but q little while before
Grandmother had always been very neat
and careful in her dress, and the beauti.
full woman's flowing hair annoyed her, SO
she said:
She would better tie up her hairl'
The guests at this strange party were
gentle people and soon grandmother said
in gratifed tone: Il 9II1
"She has gone to the bureau and is
tying up her hair" P@
The family was very much interested
in the unseen guests that thronged around
grandmother and made her 30 happy, the
interest being greater because she had
never been dreamer or believer in Wis.
ions. The "party" continued for several
hours, till at last grandmother sank into
a sweet slumber, from which she never
awoke. No one could tell at what mo-
ment she joined the friends who had
come to celebrate this new birthday, 80
gentle was the change from the weak
body of age to the strong. beautiful one
of immortal youth. The happy smile
was on her face, but she was gone, and
the deserted chamber seemed like door
way to the unseen world.
The children we're so much interested
in this unexpected party of grandmoth-
er's, they felt no disappointment in hav-
ing none of their own. They wished
they had seen little Walter, the baby, and
grandmother when she joined the angels
and grew we'll and strong; and they
asked hundred questions which the
mother could not answer. The flags still
made the nursery gay, the dolls we're
dressed in their new suits, and everybody
sat with folded hands to hear the beauti-
full story of grandmother's birthday.
"She wasn't quite ninety years old"
Daisy would add, "but she was so good
perhaps the angels thought they wouldn't
wait"
But Ralph said: The angels were 60
ing to have great big party in heaven,
and wanted Grandmother to come early"

MY LITTLE SISTER.

The great Scotch preacher, DR.. Guth-
RE, was once walking along the streets
Of Edinburgh, when his eye was attract
ed by q little girl just in front Of him,
carrying fat heavy child, almost as big
as herself. The poor little figure was
strained all awry, the childish arms whit
ened with the intensity Of the effort to
sustain the heavy burden; the childish
feet trod the pavement upevenly beneath
it. Overtaking her, DR.. Guthrie laid q
kind, fatherly hand on the child's shout
der, and said, in commiserating tone,
"My child, that is very heavy load for
you to carry" The child looked up with
fash of almost reproachful surprise in
her clear brown eyes, and said simply,
"It's my little brotherr The poor, little
visited figure felt no burden: at was her
little brother"
Now I have often thought, if every
young man would just get into the way
of saying to himself of every young girl
he is thrown with in the home or the
drawing room, in the shop or the fac
tory, in the street or on the train, "It is
my little sister," how it would Tighten
the burden OF self-control that manhood
throws upon him, how the lower in
stincts would be taken up and fulfilled
in the higherl at is my little sister,"
possibly, a very naughty little sister,
full of what I call the "black kitten"
much too free with herself; but still
your little sister, whom you have to pro-
tect all the more because she does not
seem to know how to protect and guard
herself.

SAVED FROM THE WRECK .

If the delicate organization of woman gets
out of order, prompt application of remedial
agents is required to saveit from total wreck.
In all such cases, whether to assist nature in
the discharge of her functions, or to repair
damages caused by diseases of special or
gans, there is no remedy so mild, and yet so
effective, as DIR. Pierce's "Favorite Prescrip-
tion," prepared at the Worlds Dispensary,
at Buffalo, N. Y, and administered for many
years to thousands of patients with the hap
piest results.

OUR LITTLE GHOST.

Oft in the silence of the night,
When the lonely moon rides high,
When wintry winds are whistling,
And we hear the owls snrill cry,
In the quiet, dusky chamber,
by the pickering freight.
Rising up between two sleepers,
Comes spirit all in white.
A winsome little ghost it is,
Rosy-cheeked and bright of eye,
With yellow curls all breaking loose
From the small cap pushed awry,
Up 1t climbs among the pillows;
For the "big dark" brings no dread,
And baby's busy fancy
Makes kingdom of bed. ii
Fearles. little ghost it is,
Safe the night as in the day,
The lonely moon to It is fair. &.
The signing winds to 1t are gay.
rhe solitude is full of friends.
And the hour brings no regrets;
For in this happy little soul
Shines a sun that never sets.
A merry little ghost it is, ~ s
Dancing gayly by itself
On the fiowery counterpane,
Like tricky household elf;
Nodding to the fitful shadows
AS they flicker on the wall,
Talking to familiar pictures,
Mimicking the owls shrill call.
A thoughtful little ghost 1t is.
And when, lonely gambols tire,
With chubby hands on chubby knees
Sits winking ut the fire.
Fancies innocent and lovely
Shines before those baby eyes
Sunny fields of dandelions,
Brooks and birds and butterflies.
A lovely little ghost tits,
When crept into it's nest,
Its hand on fathers shoulder laid,
Its head on mothers breast.
1t watches each familiar face
With tranquil, trusting eye,
And like a sleepy little bird,
Sings it's own soft lullaby.
Then those who feigned sleep perore'
Lest oaby play till dawn,
Wake and watch their folded flower,
Little rose without thornl
And in the silence OF the night
The hearts that love it most
Pray tenderly above its sleep,
"God bless our. little ghostl'

cATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND HAY
FEVER.

FEVER.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that
they are due to the presence OF living
parasites in the lining membrane of the
nose and eustachian tubes. Microscopic
research, however, has proved this to be
fact, and the result is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever
are cured in from one to three simple ap-
phcations made at home. A pamphlet ex-
planning this new treatment is sent free
on receipt of stamp by A. a. Dixon & Son,
